Victor  Record 
of  "Celeste  Aida 
sung  by  Caruso 


Caruso 
as  Rhadames 
in  Aida 


Both  are  Caruso 

The  Victor  Record  of  Caruso's  voice  is 
just  as  truly  Caruso  as  Caruso  himself. 

It  actually  is_  Caruso — his  own  magnifi- 
cent voice,  with  all  the  wonderful  power 
and  beauty  of  tone  that  make  him  the 
greatest  of  all  tenors. 

Every  one  of  the  hundred  and  twenty-four 
Caruso  records  brings  you  not  only  his  art, 
but  his  personality.  When  you  hear  Caruso 
on  the  Victrola  in  your  own  home,  you  hear 
him  just  as  truly  as  if  you  were  listening  to 
him  in  the  Metropolitan  Opera  House. 

The  proof  is  in  the  hearing.  Any  Victor  dealer 
in  any  city  in  the  world  will  gladly  play  for  you 
Victor  Records  by  Caruso  or  any  other  of  the  world's 

greatest  artists.  There 
are  Victors  and  Victrolas 
in  great  variety  of  styles  from 
$10  to  #250. 


Always  use  Victor  Machines  with  Victor  Records

A  SMILE 


By  LAMB  JAMES  CLARENCE  HARVEY 


THE  lilt  of  a  rhyme  must  pass  away, 
To  the  scrolls  of  Time  unroll, 
And  the  breathing  canvas  must  decay, 

Though  it  echoes  a  human  soul; 
The  carven  stone,  as  the  hours  fly  past, 

Will  crumble,  in  time,  to  dust, 
And  the  moulded  bronze  will  yield  at  last, 
To  the  countless  years  of  rust. 

The  glance  of  an  eye  is  a  transient  thing, 

That  is  gone  ere  the  glance  is  born, 
Like  the  song  of  a  bird,  that  awakes  to  sing, 

To  the  first  faint  rays  of  morn. 
But,  out  from  the  soul,  there  is  one  thing  sweet, 

Set  free  from  all  thought  of  guile, 
To  serve  as  a  guide  to  wandering  feet — 

'Tis  the  warmth  of  a  sunny  smile. 

And  the  smile  shall  live,  though  the  years  that  were 

Shall  be  lost  in  the  years  to  be. 
And  the  heart  of  a  future  age  shall  stir 

With  its  broad  humanity. 


Behold!  a  sower  went  forth  to  sow 

Good  seed  in  the  Master's  field. 
The  tale  that  was  told,  in  the  long  ago, 

The  fruit  of  his  toil  revealed. 
And  another  parable  I  would  tell. 

Though  it  be  with  a  faltering  pen, 
Of  a  noble  soul  who  sows  so  well. 

Good  deeds  in  the  hearts  of  men. 

And  though  some  of  them  fall  on  stony  ground, 

And  bring  him  no  sweet  return. 
And  though  some  in  the  blazing  sun  are  found, 

Where  they  dry  and  wither  and  burn. 
There  are  others  that  fall  in  the  soil  of  love. 

And  up  from  the  swelling  seed, 
There  springeth  a  blessing  from  Heaven  above, 

To  comfort,  in  time  of  need. 

And  the  day  shall  come  when  the  sower  shall  reap, 

And  the  peace  of  advancing  years 
Shall  be  sweet  as  a  long  and  dreamless  sieep 

And  the  waking  free  from  tears. 
And  his  summons  shall  come,  like  the  call  of  a  friend, 

And  the  setting  of  life's  bright  sun, 
Will  be  a  beginning  and  not  an  end. 

For  the  world  will  say:    "Well  done." 


HOW  TO  AID  THE  ACTORS  WHO  AID  ALL  WORTHY 

CHARITIES 


There  are  no  people  in  the  world  so  charitable  as  the 
actor  folk — to  none  is  so  little  charity  shown. 

*  %  %  *  *  %  %  * 

DURING  the  last  six  months  the  demands  of  charity 
upon  the  people  of  the  United  States  have  been 
almost  incalculable.  In  one  way  or  another  millions 
of  dollars  have  been  raised  to  aid  sufferers  from  the  for- 
eign war,  while  widespread  business  depression  at  home  has 
caused  unusual  need  for  philanthropy  here.  WHO 
CAN  ESTIMATE  THE  EXTENT  TO  WHICH 
THIS  CAMPAIGN  FOR  CHARITABLE  FUNDS 
HAS  BEEN  AIDED  BY  THE  SYMPATHY  AND 
GENEROSITY  OF  THE  PEOPLE  OF  THE  STAGE? 
Scarce  a  week  has  passed  since  last  November  with- 
out one  or  more  benefits  in  New  York  alone  for  the 
Belgians,  the  French,  the  British,  the  Germans,  for  Red 
Cross  nurses,  American  ambulance  corps,  or  this  or  that 
distinctive  charity  in  the  war  zone.  It  is  needless  to  be 
specific.  Nothing  is  more  firmly  impressed  upon  the 
mind  of  the  everyday  citizen  than  the  number  and  the 
success  of  these  benefits  in  which  the  player  folk  gave  of 
their  very  best  for  the  cause  of  charity. 

To  do  this  the  participants  had  necessarily  to  neglect 
themselves  while  giving  the  money  they  earned  to  others. 
They  could  not  respond  so  generously  to  all  calls  without 
sacrifice.  And  the  public  should  no  longer  accept  such 
sacrifice  as  a  matter  of  course.  It  should  not  seek  such 
generous  aid  and  then  be  forgetful  of  the  generous  givers 
in  their  hour  of  need. 


The  press  and  public  and  those  interested  in  charities 
have  it  in  their  power  to  make  return  in  kind,  though 
inadequately,  for  the  aid  given  by  actors  to  all  charitable 
causes.  The  chief  charity  maintained  by  stage  people 
for  stage  people  is  the  Actors'  Fund.  It  is  pitifully 
inadequate,  but  it  exists  and  should  be  greatly  increased. 
It  would  be  but  poetic  justice  for  the  actors  to  request 
that  every  now  and  then  other  professional  men  should 
give  half  a  day  to  earning  money  for  this  fund — as  actors 
give  their  time  to  other  funds.  As  this  is  impracticable 
it  is  a  part  of  the  duty  which  generous  actors  owe  to 
themselves  as  well  as  to  others  to  see  that  this  Actors' 
Fund  receives  its  proper  share  from  the  charitable  efforts 
and  contributions  of  actors  and  actresses. 

NO  BENEFIT  SHOULD  HEREAFTER  BE 
GIVEN  FOR  ANY7  CHARITY  IN  WHICH  AT 
LEAST  25  PER  CENT.  OF  THE  PROCEEDS  DOES 
NOT  GO  TO  THE  ACTORS'  FUND,  in  addition  to 
which  there  should  be  even'  year  certain  benefits,  ardently 
supported  by  the  press  and  the  public,  to  swell  the  receipts 
of  the  Actors'  Fund.  These  stage  people,  so  generous  in 
their  response  to  the  needs  of  others,  should  not  them- 
selves be  left  in  their  last  hours  to  penury  and  misery. 

The  Hearst  newspapers,  which  gratefully  recall  the 
*reat  assistance  of  the  theatrical  world  in  their  charitable 
endeavors,  invite  the  co-operation  of  other  newspapers 
and  of  the  public  generally  in  this  worthy  purpose.

A  LAMB'S  GAMBLE 

BY  LAMB  BENNET  MUSSON 

LAMB  whose  season  had  been  good  spake  thus:   "I  feel  a  hunch 
To  beat  it  down  and  gamble  with  that  Wall  Street  bunch." 
Up  spake  the  Shepherd  of  the  Fold :   "My  boy,  don't  be  so  rash, 
The  Bulls  and  Bears  that  haunt  the  Street  wax  fat  on  Lambkins'  cash. 
Restrain  your  speculative  hunch,  cling  to  your  hard-earned  gold; 
And  if  you  wish  to  gamble,  gambol  safely  in  the  Fold. 

The  Lamb  disdained  this  sage  advice,  and  straightway  hied  him  where 

His  presence  raised  expectancy  in  every  Bull  and  Bear. 

They  thought  that  when  the  Lamb  was  broke,  his  fleece  a  total  loss, 

The  rest  of  him  would  make  a  pleasant  banquet — with  mint  sauce. 

He  coyly  nibbled  Steel  Preferred,  of  U.  P.  took  a  chew, 

And  in  that  dangerous  pasture  browsed  for  a  month  or  two. 

By  every  rule  of  common  sense  that  was  ever  known  to  man, 

Those  Bulls  and  Bears  should  have  enjoyed  a  hearty  meal  of  lamb. 

Instead  of  which  they  fell  before  that  Lambkin,  one  by  one, 

And  on  the  day  he  quit  the  Street  he  had  them  on  the  run. 

The  Lamb  is  now  uptown  again,  with  half  a  million  cold, 

Content  with  this,  he  gaily  spends  his  interest  in  the  Fold. 

Lambs'  tales  are  always  moral, — at  least  so  I've  been  told, — 

And  this  one  seems  to  point  to  Fortune's  favoring  the  bold. 

But  Fortune  is  a  fickle  jade,  as  every  bromide  knows, 

And  though  she  smiled  on  this  brave  Lamb  see  what  the  sequel  shows: 

Some  fifty  of  his  fellow  Lambs  envied  his  lucky  stroke, 

They  forthwith  followed  in  his  lead — and  every  one  went  broke. 


WHEN  YOU  CANT  JUDGE  AN  ACTOR 

BY  LAMB  MONTAGUE  GLASS 

Author  of  "Potash  and  Perlmuiter" 


you  hear  it  that  Max  Tuchman  has  got  a  son 
by  the  name  of  Ralph  Tuchman  which  is  now 
working  as  an  actor  ? "  Louis  Gurin,  the  real 
estater  asked  as  he  sat  opposite  B.  Rashkind  in  the 
Regal  Vienna  Restaurant  and  Cafe. 

"Sure  I  hear  it,"  Rashkind  answered,  "and  I  ain't 
got  no  sympathy  with  Max  neither,  Gurin,  because  if  a 
feller  calls  his  son  by  such  a  name  as  Ralph,  y'under- 
stand,  the  best  he  could  expect  is  that  a  feller  should 
turn  out  to  be  an  actor  or  something." 

"Seemingly  you  don't  think  very  high  of  actors," 
Gurin  commented. 

"I  think  just  so  high  from  actors  as  anybody  does, 
Gurin,"  Rashkind  declared,  "which  I  don't  know 
nothing  about  'em,  Gurin,  because  I  ain't  got  no  actors 
in  my  family,  Gott  sei  dank." 

"Why  Gott  sei  dank?"  Gurin  asked.  "So  far  as  I 
found  out  up  to  date,  Rashkind,  you  ain't  got  no 
rabonim  in  your  family  neither,  which  if  you  could 
claim  for  a  relation  such  an  actor  like  Dovid  Warfield 
oder  a  concern  like  Montgomery  &  Stone,  y'understand, 
you  wouldn't  got  no  kick  coming,  believe  me." 


"Dovid  Warfield  is  another  good  actor,  only  in  a 
different  way,"  Gurin  continued.  "Warfield  owns 
tenement  property,  otherwise  he  is  just  as  good  as 
Montgomery  &  Stone,  y'understand,  and  some  says 
even  better  by  a  couple  of  hundred  thousand  dollars." 

"Is  that  so!"  Rashkind  cried. 

"Furthermore  George  M.  Kohn  is  also  good  for  a 
half  a  million  dollars  at  the  very  least,"  Gurin  went  on, 
"and  still  another  very  good  actor  is  a  feller  by  the 
name  Corse  Payton,  which  he  owns  property  in  Brook- 
lyn, although  of  course,  Gurin,  none  of  these  here 
actors  is  as  good  as  they  used  to  be,  Gurin,  on  account 
of  the  way  real  estate  is  so  dead  nowadays,  especially 
in  Brooklyn." 

Rashkind  wagged  his  head  from  side  to  side  and  made 
incoherent  sounds  through  his  nose  indicating  surprise 
too  acute  for  verbal  expression. 

"So  you  see,  Rashkind,  you  should  be  very  careful 
what  you  say  about  actors,"  Gurin  concluded,  "because 
you  never  could  judge  if  an  actor  is  good  or  not  just 
from  seeing  him  on  the  stage."

WHY  I  LIKE  THE  LAMBS 


By  LAMB  GEORGE  ADE 


AFTER    inspeeting   many    clubs,   1  hand 
the  diamond  medal  to  The  Lambs. 
It  is  a  real  club  and  not  a  semi- 
hotel  in  which  strangers  look  at  each  other 
while  partaking  of  food. 

The  club  is  not  so  elaborately  organized 
that  the  machinery  projects  through  the  social 
fabric. 

The  Lambs  are  not  few  enough  to  be 
lonesome  nor  sufficiently  numerous  to  be  lost  ° 
to  one  another.  They  fight  just  enough  to 
insure  a  proper  circulation  and  work  for  the 
common  good  without  putting  on  virtuous 
airs.  Each  member  tries  to  remain  young 
up  to  the  age  of  eighty,  to  have  some  fun 
as  he  goes  along  and  leave  tilings  in  better 
shape  than  he  found  them. 

In  The  Lambs  there  is  a  kernel  of  democ- 
racy, more  or  less  surrounded  by  New  York 
aristocracy  and  plutocracy. 

Xo  member  was  ever  known  to  tremble  in 


the  presence  of  any  other  member.  You  have 
heard  the  wheeze,  "Pride  goeth  before  a 
fall."    It  was  written  for  The  Lambs. 

Here  is  one  club  in  which  you  do  not  find 
frigid  gentlemen  with  fishy  eyes  looking  about 
apprehensively  for  fear  they  will  be  entrapped 
into  social  recognition  of  some  one  who 
doesn't  quite  belong. 

You  can  walk  into  The  Lambs  without 
disturbing  some  one  who  is  taking  a  nap. 

I  live  away  off  in  the  timber.  Sometimes 
I  visit  the  club  only  once  or  twice  a  year,  but 
always  I  think  of  it  as  an  oasis — one  of  the 
real  and  regular  places  for  stopping  and 
camping. 

I  am  not  surprised  to  hear  that  The  Lambs 
have  jumped  in  this  year  to  help  get  some 
money  for  The  Actors'  Fund.  The  Lambs 
are  always  ready  to  turn  out  in  the  middle 
of  the  night  and  go  on  a  run,  the  same  as  a 
village  fireman. 


WHEN  ACTORS  WERE  NOT  VAGABONDS 

By  LAMB  RUPERT  HUGHES 


WHEN'  a  member  of  the  British  royal  family  visited  New  York 
a  few  years  ago,  he  accepted  the  hospitality  of  only  one 
club — The  Lambs.     Incidentally,   he  made  one  of  the 
best  after-dinner  speeches  ever  heard  in  that  home  of  after- 
dinner  speeches — or,  rather,  of  after-supper  speeches,  for  he  spoke 
at  the  spread  served  at  midnight  after  a  Gambol. 

At  that  time  many  people  remarked,  "And  to  think  that  not 
so  long  ago,  actors  were  considered  vagabonds!" 

The  same  remark  is  always  made  when  an  actress  marries  into 
the  peerage  or  an  actor  is  knighted,  though  Lavinia  Kenton  became 
the  Duchess  of  Bolton  as  long  ago  as  1751.  and  as  early  as  525,  A.  D., 
the  actress,  Theodora,  became  the  wife  of  the  Roman  Emperor 
Justinian. 

The  first  actor  to  be  knighted  was  doubtless  the  famous  Koscius  . 
who  was  made  a  knight  in  the  year  50  B.  C.  He  was  a  great  friend 
of  Cicero,  as  was  another  actor,  Aesopus,  who  built  up  such  a  great 
fortune  that  when  he  died,  his  son  and  heir  was  able  to  dissolve  a 
forty  thousand  dollar  pearl  in  vinegar  and  drink  it  to  see  how  it 
would  taste. 

I  was  surprised  to  read  the  other  day  of  a  Jewish  actor  in  early 
Rome.  When  the  great  Hebrew  general  and  historian  Josephus, 
arrived  in  Rome  and  wanted  to  get  an  audience  with  the  emperor, 
Nero,  he  applied  to  this  actor.  Aliturus,  who  was  a  favorite  at  court. 
Alituru-  11  -ed  hi-  influence  with  the  tyrant  to  good  effect  and  on  two 
•  ,'  '  ;i  i-.n-  -e<  ured  pardon  and  release  for  Jewish  prisoners  in  Rome. 

About  the  same  time  the  actor,  Paris,  was  at  the  height  of  his 
influence,  and  Juvenal  said,  "If  you  want  to  get  the  royal  favor — ask 
an  actor,  not  a  lord." 

Some  of  the  actors  were  men  of  great  dignity  and  the  fierce 
satirist.  Martial,  wrote  a  beautiful  tribute  to  the  actor,  Latinus,  in 
tie-  form  of  an  epitaph.     It  can  be  roughly  translated  in  prose: 

"I  am  the  ornament  of  the  stage,  the  glory  of  the  spec- 
tacles, l.atimis,  that  applauded  man.  your  favorite.  But  my 
life  had  not  been  colored  by  the  theater,  and  I  belonged  to  the 
MUM  only  in  my  art.  I  could  not  have  been  acceptable  to 
God  without  morality,  for  God  sees  the  inner  soul.  Call  me 
if  you  will  the  parasite  of  Apollo,  provided  Rome  knows  also 
that  I  wan  the  servant  of  Jove." 

In  the  middle  ages  the  actor  and  the  drama  suffered  much 
p«  iition  from  bigotry,  but  so  did  sculpture,  and  science,  and 
Rcholflrf hip.  Actors  have  never  been  repressed  except  in  times  of 
ferocious  intolerance.  And  during  those  periods  there  were  always 
little  wcret  meeting*  for  dramatii  performance,  since  the  drama  has 
always  l»ern  a  religion  to  its  follower*. 

When  civilization  emerged  from  tin-  dark  ages,  the  stage  came 
forth  with  the  other  liberal  arts.     In  Italy,  an  actress,  the  wife  of  an 


actor,  was  elected  to  the  Academy  of  Padua;    another  actress, 

Yicenza  Pannini,  was  so  honored  that  she  was  received  with  a  salute 

of  cannon  by  the  towns  she  visited.    The  actors  and  actresses  were 

fawned  upon  by  the  nobility  then  as  now. 

Everybody  knows  that  Shakespeare  was  in  favor  at  court  and 

Queen  Elizabeth  asked  him  to  write  a  second  play  about  Falstaff. 

When  Burbage  died  the  Earl  of  Pembroke  mourned  him  profoundly. 

Moliere  was  loved  by  Louis  XIV  who  stood  godfather  to  his  child. 

and  also  suggested  a  scene  in  one  of  his  plays. 

David  Garrick  was  a  pet  of  the  court  and  made  a  great  fortune 

When  In-  retired  lie  sold  hi-  share  111  Drurj  I  .me  for  >i;^.  1. 

The  novelist  Fielding  said,  in  1728: 

"The  stage  at  present  promises  a  much  better  provision 
than  any  of  the  professions.  The  income  of  an  actor  of  any 
rank  is  from  six  to  twelve  hundred  pounds  a  year:  whereas 
that  of  two-thirds  of  the  army  is  considerably  under  one  hundred; 
the  income  of  nine-tenths  of  the  clergy  is  less  than  fifty  pounds  a 
year,  and  the  profits  of  the  law.  ol  ninety-nine  in  the  bundled, 
amount  not  to  a  single  shilling." 

The  famous  actor,  John  Philip  Kemble,  bought  a  sixth  interest 
in  Covcnt  Garden  for  $100,000.  W  hen  it  burned  down  the  Duke  of 
Northumberland  made  him  a  loan  of  $50,000  and  refused  repayment. 

Recently  when  Forbes  Robertson,  after  being  knighted,  was 
given  a  dinner  by  the  most  prominent  men  of  New  York.  President 
Wilson  sent  him  a  message  of  felicitation. 

One  might  go  on  indefinitely  proving  how  high  the  actor  has 
stood  in  the  esteem  of  the  world.  He  i<  not  always  content  to  weal 
a  lath  sword  and  mimic  heroism.  In  the  armies  engaged  in  the 
present  war  are  numberless  actors.  Due  member  of  The  Lambs. 
Robert  Lorraine,  was  wounded  in  his  airship;  and  our  inede-t  familiar 
friend,  Wallace  McCutcheon,  earned  the  Victoria  Cross  by  his 
distinguished  valor. 

It  is  a  curious  thing  that  actors,  who  are  a  byword  of  mutual 
jealousy,  have  been  more  jealous  lor  the  welfare  of  their  profession 
than  any  other  class  of  men.  They  are  always  ready  to  lend  their 
art  to  the  benefit  of  any  charity,  and  when  they  ask  the  public  for 
money  they  always  give  value  fourfold  for  it. 

The  present  benefit  is  The  Lambs'  contribution  to  the  heroic 

effort  to  rescue  the  Actors'  Fund  from  the  throes  of  hard  times 

combined  with  the  ruin  of  war.     The  public  is  not  requested  to  gi\e 

of  its  charity,  but  to  accept  a  wholesale  splendor  of  talent  at  a 
nominal  price. 

The  ftCtor  has  won  and  held  his  position  In  the  social  scale  by 

making  himsell  worth  while.    He  is  now  defending  and  comforting 

his  ve'  ■rans.  That  very  generosity  of  human  sympathy  which  makes 
him  a  good  actor,  is  the  quality  that  makes  him  a  good  financier.

THE  WAR  AND 

THE  CHORUS 

By    LAMB  JOHN 

E.  HAZZARD 

Author  of  "Ain't  It 

Awful,  Mabel  ?  " 

"11  /WY  dear,  this  war's  cert'nly  raising  the  deuce, 
]  y  1    It's  getting  so  now,  it  ain't  any  use 

To  get  you  a  John,  and  go  out  on  the  loose. 
Because  it  is  so  hard  to  be  n'utral.  , 

I  order  a  goulash,  Hungarian  style, 

And  my  French  friend  went  up  in  the  air  for  a  mile, 
But  the  next-table  gent  smiled  an  Austrian  smile. 
And  me  trying  hard  to  be  n'utral. 

My  friends  are  so  many  and  awfully  nice,  l*W, 

And  none  of  them  worry  a  bit  'bout  the  price. 

I  used  to  go  straight  from  the  soup  to  the  ice 

And  not  worry  how  to  be  n'utral.  ^B^f/ 

When  a  girl  has  admirers,  it  is  terribly  hard 
To  have  to  spend  most  of  your  time  on  your  guard, 
With  an  appetite,  too,  that  is  there  by  the  yard, 
And  still  recollect  to  be  n'utral. 

But  now  I  go  out  with  a  German,  my  dear,  ^v$f<r 
And  order  French  peas — I  get  naught  but  a  sneer,  Jjt/' 
He  thinks  you  can  live  just  on  sausage  and  beer,             %  -51 
And  won't  even  let  me  be  n'utral.                                    1  J 

But  I've  thought  it  out  in  my  chorus-girl  way, 
How  to  hold  foreign  lovers  and  still  make  them  pay, 
So  I  dine  on  Chop  Suey  most  every  day. 
My  Gawd!  but  it's  hard  to  be  n'utral.

PRAYER 

By  LAMB  CHARLES  EDWARD  FORCE 

DRINKIN'  my  ale  in  the  evenin';  smokin'  my  good  old  pipe; 
I  sits  here  at  my  typewriter,  fingerin'  o'  the  type. 
Wonderin',  hungerin',  wishin',  prayin'  a  good  old  prayer, 
Hopin'  and  tryin'  hard  to  yank  out  o'  my  mem'ry's  lair, 
A  couple  or  more  real  rhymers,  writ  in  a  way  so  high 
They'd  get  by  those  critic  fellars,  and  make  them  buyers  buy; 
So  that  when  sittin'  and  thinkin'  and  smokin'  in  the  night, 
I  kin  feel  my  prayin'  answered.    At  last  my  rhyme  is  right. 


THE   TALE   OF   A  SHIRT 


By    LAMB    JOSEPH    W.  HERBERT 


A CAMBRIC  skirt 
And  a  full-dress  shirt, 
Were  hung  on  a  laundry  line; 
The  skirt  tho'  pert 
And  an  awful  flirt, 
For  the  shirt  began  to  pine. 
The  wind  blew  the  sleeve  of  the  full-dress 
shirt, 

Around  the  waist  of  the  cambric  skirt, 
As  they  hung  on  the  line  they  danced  with 
glee, 

While  the  south  wind  whistled  merrily: 
"Sing-a-hey  for  the  skirt  that  was  loved  so 
well, 

And  the  shirt  with  a  tale  of  love  to  tell!" 


Alas,  poor  heart, 
They  were  forced  to  part 
From  the  line;  ah,  sad  to  tell; 
Were  quickly  marched 
To  the  laundry,  starched, 
And  ironed  out  as  well. 
The  bosom  heaved  on  the  full-dress 
shirt; 

He  said  "Farewell!"  to  the  lovelorn  skirt. 
Thev  were  sent  to  their  homes,  labelled: 

"C.  O.  D." 
And  the  south  wind  whistled  tearfully: 
"Sing-a-sigh  for  the  skirt  that  was  loved 

so  well. 

And  the  shirt  with  a  tale  of  love  to  tell." 


A  lovely  moon 

On  a  night  in  June, 

In  a  cot  called  "Lover's  Lair," 

By  Fate  'twas  set. 

That  these  garments  met 

On  the  back  of  a  boudoir  chair. 
"Two  pairs  of  shoes  underneath  the  bed, 
Explain  why  we  meet  again,"  they  said. 
Then  the  shirt  and  the  skirt,  how  they  laughed 
with  glee, 

While  the  south  wind  whistled  merrily: 
"Sing-a-hey  for  the  groom  and  his  full-dress 
shirt, 

And  the  blushing  bride  and  her  cambric 
skirt!" 


MEN  OF  THE  THEATRE  AT  THE  FRONT 

By  LAMB  JAMES  F.  J.  ARCHIBALD 


IN  these  days  of  war  and  strife  when  we  in  our 
peace  blessed  country  turn  our  wearied  ears  toward 
the  stage  with  its  education  and  its  amusement,  we 
must  not  forget  the  part  these  men,  who  ofttimes  don 
the  uniform  and  fight  the  mimic  battle  of  the  stage, 
have  played  in  the  real  wars  of  history. 

The  dispatches  of  the  day  have  mentioned  many 
times  such  names  as  Robert  Lorraine,  Guy  Standing, 
Wallace  McCutcheon.  In  days  gone  by  we  rarely 
think  of  Sir  Charles  Windham  in  an  American  Uniform 
in  time  of  war,  yet  it  should  not  be  forgotten;  nor 
should  the  days  of  the  Boston  Museum  Stock  Company, 
when  James  Burrows  and  Charles  Barron  left  the  foot- 
lights to  fight  for  their  country.     Joseph  Gusmer, 


Mason  Mitchell,  Albert  Reis,  Roy  Atwell  and  Sydney 
Ainsworth  also  did  their  share.  Men  like  Bernard 
Rheinhold  were  not  content  with  serving  one  flag,  but 
served  under  three  different  banners  in  time  of  war. 

During  my  days  with  the  Austrian  and  German 
armies  it  was  interesting  to  note  the  number  of  theatri- 
cal men  who  were  at  the  front.  In  England  and  France 
and  in  Russia  the  profession  is  very  widely  represented. 
So  we  must  not  think  of  these  men  who  are  honoring 
us  in  accepting  our  little  help  with  their  worthy  fund 
as  mere  players  but  they  are  also  fighters  and  have 
been  fighters  all  their  lives,  not  only  for  themselves  but 
for  their  countries,  and  they  deserve  a  world  of  praise 
in  these  days  of  war.

THE  AEOLIAN-VOCALION 

THE  element  most  needed  by  the  phonograph  has  been  tone-control — some  practical  method  by  which 
you  could  vary-  the  music — put  a  little  of  your  own  personality  into  it.    Manufacturers  have  all 
recognized  this  need,  and  in  an  attempt  to  meet  it  have  brought  out  a  variety  of  needles,  provided 
doors,  and  other  mechanical  devices  for  changing  tone  volume. 

Everyone  who  has  ever  owned  a  phonograph  realizes  the  need.  Even  the  finest  Records,  if  always 
played  in  the  same  way,  eventually  lose  much  of  their  original  charm.  They  lack  the  shades  of  feeling,  the 
subtle  changes  in  expression  with  which  the  great  artists  themselves  always  vary  their  performances. 

The  Graduola 


The  Aeolian- Vocalion  is  equipped  with  a  device  which  provides  an 
absolute  control  of  tone.    This  device  is  the  Graduola. 

The  Graduola  makes  the  music  of  the  phonograph  your  own — you 
may  vary  the  expression,  introduce  tone-shading  and  accents  as  you 
choose.  You  supply  the  personal  element  which  vitalizes  the  inter- 
pretation— adds  the  interest  of  novelty. 

And  the  fascination  of  thus  actually  playing — of  expressing  your- 
self in  music — by  means  of  the  phonograph  cannot  be  described.  It 
is  almost  as  though  the  talent  of  the  artist  who  made  the  record  were 
your  own.  You  have  a  wonderful  voice  to  sing  with — an  incompara- 
ble mastery  of  violin  or  'cello — you  lead  the  orchestra  or  direct  the 
band — and  always  with  certainty  and  beautiful  results,  for  you  follow 
always  the  example  and  suggestion  of  a  master  artist. 


rT~'  Not  only  does  the  Aeolian-Vocalion  provide  music 

1  0T1.Q   filled  with  the  sparkle  of  life  and  personality,  but 

for  sheer  beauty  and  richness  of  tone  it  is  the  pre- 
eminent instrument  of  the  phonograph  type.  Its  tone  is  the  purest 
recorded  tone  of  the  voice,  the  violin,  or  other  instrument,  undis- 
torted,  unmarred  by  distracting  "scratch"  or  other  mechanical 
sounds. 

The  Aeolian-Vocalion  may  be  used  as  any  other  phonograph— 
you  need  not  use  the  Graduola  unless  you  wish.  For  dance  music  it 
is  a  revelation,  far  surpassing  in  effectiveness,  in  clearness  and  volume 
of  tone  any  phonograph  hitherto  produced. 

The  Aeolian-Vocalion  plays  all  the  Standard  and  most  popular 
Records.  It  may  be  obtained  in  a  variety  of  beautiful  models  at  a 
wide  range  of  moderate  prices,  and  it  is  sold  on  small  monthly  pay- 
ments.   Other  phonographs  taken  in  exchange. 


The  Phonograph  Department  of  Aeolian  Hall  is  probably  the  most  complete  in  the  world.  In  addition  to  a  mag- 
nificent display  of  Aeolian- Vocalions,  it  carries  a  complete  stock  of  the  celebrated  Columbia  Phonographs  and 
other  leading  instruments  as  well.  Here  also  are  to  be  found  all  the  famous  Columbia  Records  and  others  of 
standard  makes.    Columbia  Grafonolas  from  $17.50  up.    Payments  as  low  as  $2  a  month.

§  The  Man  Flyer  SSEiy 








By  LAMB  THOMAS  P.  JACKSON 


A FOOL  there  was  and  he  learned  to  fly 
(Even  without  a  sigh) 
In  an  Aeroplane  built  of  sticks  and  strings, 
With  a  motor  to  drive  its  feeble  wings. 
And  the  poor  Fool  thought  of  these  rotten  things — 
(Even  without  a  sigh) 

Oh!  the  hope  he  laid  on  the  fame  to  gain 

With  his  ship  and  a  steady  hand — 

As  he  flew  over  valley  and  mountain  top 

This  lonely  man  thought  that  nothing  could  stop: 

And  hr  would  nut  understand. 


So,  away  he  went  and  he  heeded  not 

The  warnings  of  those  on  land — 

He  pulled  down  his  cap  and  gritted  his  teeth, 

And  left  the  earth  far,  far  beneath, 

For  he  would  not  understand. 

A  Fool  there  was  and  he  went  up  and  up 

(Even  without  a  sigh) 
With  the  ease  and  grace  of  a  light-winged  dove, 
Into  the  great  unknown  above, 
Among  the  clouds  he  had  learned  to  love — 

(Even  without  a  sigh) 


A  Fool  there  was  and  he  sailed  the  skies 

(Even  without  a  sigh) 
While  Death  itself  laughed  at  the  knave, 
And  pointed  below  to  his  waiting  grave, 
But  the  poor  Fool  only  his  hand  did  wave — 
(Even  without  a  sigh) 


But,  the  poor  Fool  reckoned  without  his  host- 
Grim  Death — who  gripped  his  hand. 
Locked  in  each  other's  tight  embrace 
They  fell  together  in  one  mad  race, 
Writhing  and  twisting  face  to  face — 
Then  the  Fool  did  understand. 


THE  LAMBS— A  WONDERFUL  CLUB 

By  LAMB  EDWARD  E.  KIDDER 

Author  of  "A  Poor  Relation,"  "Sky  Farm."  "Peaceful  Valley,"  etc. 


YES,  wonderful  from  many  viewpoints,  hut  simply  take  that  of 
the  dramatist.  In  the  composition  of  bis  plaj  nice  technical- 
ities are  often  involved,  and  as  no  playwright  hut  Shakespeare 
has  heeri  above  improvement  or  suggestion,  the  author  frequently 
seeks  his  fellow  Lambs  for  exact  and  special  detail — and  gets  it! 
For  ours  Is,  by  no  means,  an  absolutely  theatrical  club,  as  many  sup- 
pose! Is  the  inquiry  along  dramatic  lines?  The  brightest  stellar 
lights  of  the  stage,  are  his  for  the  asking!  On  a  Naval  subject? 
Admirals,  Commodores,  Commanders  and  Ensigns  are  our  brothers — 
and  also  a  wise,  witty  and  devout  <  'haplain  to  talk  of  things  ecclesiasti- 
cal, "when  his  ship  comes  in!"  Military  questions  can  be  referred  to 
our  Generals,  Colonels  and  Lieutenants,  while  a  delicate  point  in 
surgery  or  materia  medica  upon  which  the  fate  of  "the"  act  of  a 
play  may  turn,  is  straightened  out  by  brilliant  Lambs  who  occupy 
seats  of  the  mighty"  in  the  medical  and  surgical  world. 
Eminent  stage  producers,  dramatists,  singers,  musicians,  conduc- 
tors arid  composers  of  world-wide  reputation  join  hands  in  our 
"Snuggery"  with  lawyers  of  t  ra nsa I  hint  ic  reputation, merchant  princes, 
publishers  and  painters  of  genius!  Sculptors  and  designers  of  the 
highest  r  ink   -judges,  statesmen,  lawyers  atid  politicians  of  the  first 

grade   an-  glad  to  be  with,  and  of,  us.  War  correspondents  of  dazzling 

I  ii  tire  farlooiiisl  s  arnl  "  Magazinisl s"  of  fame  and  Novelists  of  note — 
bob-noh  happily  with  our  very  dear  theatrical  folk  who  give  to  the 
Lambs  its  unique  distinction  of  having  no  rival  in  the  whole  world! 

Here  the  "Star"  and  his  "Support"  meet  upon  a  peaceful  and 
democratic  level,  while  managers  and  agents  "when  twelve  o'clock 
has  come"  sociably  forget  their  wrangles  over  "routes"  and  "returns" 


to  chat  with  some  famous  player  of  serious  roles  sitting  vis-a-vis 
with  a  merry  comedian  whose  twinkling  feet  have  danced  him  into 
Fortune's  lap! 

Perhaps  these  verses  written  by  me  may  vizualize,  to  some  ex- 
tent, what  the  Lambs  means  to  so  many  of  Us: 

Oh,  brilliant  brotherhood  of  brains — 

Oh,  club  unique  for  wit  and  worth — 
Where  Momus  dwells  and  Genius  reigns, 

In  touch  with  all  the  best  of  earth — 
To  those  of  us  who  love  you  well 

Your  qualities  need  not  be  told; 
We  know  the  many  joys  that  dwell 

Within  the  fold! 

Xol  ours  alone  to  clink  the  glass. 

Or  welcome  Pleasure  in  her  round, 
rI'o  hear  the  merry  jests  that  pass, 

Ti i  till  the  air  with  joyous  sound; 

A  worthier  purpose  moves  us  on, 

A  minor  chord  is  in  our  glee, 
Our  hearts  are  where  our  Lambs  have  gone 
( In  land  and  sea. 

A  bond  of  sympathetic  love 

Unites  .is  one  "our  happy  few"; 
Mere  can  the  victor  share  his  joys. 

The  vanquished  find  nepenthe,  too. 

A  I  unit  y  shall  aid  our  band 

To  hold  its  power  forevermore: 
The  open  heart     the  open  hand — 
The  open  door!

A   WONDERFUL    LITTLE  BOOK 
ON  CONSCIOUS  EVOLUTION 

A  GREAT  PHILOSOPHY  AND  A  REMARKABLE  PERSONALITY 

By  DONALD  RICHARDSON 


TREMENDOUS  events  often  hang  on  insignificant  trifles.  "Enter- 
prises of  great  moment"  are  stifled  in  their  early  stages  by  infinitesimal 
objects,  and  thus,  in  the  words  of  Hamlet,  "lose  the  name  of  action." 
Why  emphasize  the  importance  of  the  little  tiling?    Because  it  is  the  infini- 
tesimal cell  of  the  human  body  which  has  such  a  potent  influence  in  shaping 
the  actions  and  governing  the  life  of  the  individual,  of  whom  it  is  a  part. 

The  simple  fact  that  the  human  body  is  built  up  of  billions  of  cells,  all  re- 
sulting from  the  evolution  of  one  original  cell,  is  in  itself  interesting,  but  little 
more  to  the  average  person.  The  further  declaration  that  health  of  the  body 
depends  upon  the  condition  of  each  individual  cell  compels  notice. 

A  GREAT  SECRET  OF  LIFE. 

When,  however,  along  comes  an  individual  who  combines  intimate  scientific 
knowledge  of  the  human  cell  with  the  discovery  of  the  means  to  insure  its 
health  and  develop  unusual  potency,  who  by  reason  of  study,  experience  and 
a  certain  genius,  shows  us  how  we  can  put  health  and  uncommon  life  into 
everyone  of  our  vast  multitude  of  cells,  thus  giving  the  human  body  its 
maximum  health  and  power,  and  do  this  in  a  perfectly  natural,  easy  and 
practical  way,  then  we  are  all  attention. 

This  is  the  marvelous  secret  uncovered  in  a  wonderful  little  book  by  Swo- 
boda,  a  great  pioneer  on  the  realm  of  physiological  science.  Some  day,  per- 
haps, the  complete  history  of  "Conscious  Evolution"  and  its  discoverer  will 
be  recorded,  with  all  its  immense  significance  and  far-reaching  ramifications. 
This  brief  article  can  only  sketch  the  rough  outlines. 

AND  ITS  DISCOVERER. 

The  story  of  Alois  P.  Swoboda  is  one  of  the  romances  of  human  history. 
As  the  discoverer  of  the  origin  and  nature  of  the  laws  governing  "conscious 
energy"  and  of  a  scientific  system  for  applying  those  laws  in  a  manner  that 
has  operated  successfully  on  over  two  hundred  thousand  cases,  Swoboda  oc- 
cupies a  peculiar  niche  in  earth's  hall  of  fame.  He  did  not  merely  write  a 
great  book,  paint  a  great  picture,  invent  some  useful  device,  or  win  some  par- 
ticular battle.  His  fame  is  built  on  a  far  more  substantial  foundation.  He  is 
the  wizard  of  the  human  body.  He  is  the  apostle  of  the  greater,  the  success- 
ful lite.  Swoboda  not  only  re-creates  men  and  women;  he  makes  them  more 
powerful,  capable,  and  happy  than  they  were  before.  He  advances  them  a 
tremendous  way  along  the  line  of  human  development.  The  man  himself — 
as  well  as  his  hosts  of  enthusiastic  clients — is  a  most  convincing  example  of 
the  effectiveness  of  his  methods. 

HIS  ACTIVITIES,  PHYSICAL  .VXD  MENTAL,  ARE  AN  EXAMPLE 
OF  HIS  WORK. 

Swoboda  fairly  radiates  vitality,  his  whole  being  pulsating  with  life  and 
energy.  And  his  mind  is  even  more  alert  and  active  than  his  body;  he  is 
tireless.  He  discourses  with  learned  fluency  on  the  sciences  of  "Conscious 
Evolution"  and  physiology,  entering  with  equal  ease  and  facility  on  any 
phase  of  this  all-important  subject.  Start  him  on  this  particular  specialty — 
the  development  of  human  powers — and  he  pours  out  a  veritable  flood  of  il- 
luminating exposition.  Earnest  and  vehement,  he  rises  to  eloquence  as  he 
unfolds  in  his  masterful  manner  the  magnificent  possibilities  of  man  under 
the  guidance  of  "conscious  energy."  Vou  are  impressed  with  the  fact  that 
you  are  in  the  presence  of  a  remarkable  personality,  a  superior  product  of 
the  Swoboda  system  of  man-building.  Swoboda  embodies  in  his  own  super- 
developed  person  the  best  proof  of  the  correctness  of  his  theories  and  of  the 
success  of  his  "Evolutionary  Exercise." 

A  NEW  MEANING  FOR  THE  WORD  EXERCISE. 

Unfortunately  the  word  "exercise"  carries  with  it  visions  of  running,  bag 
punching,  club  -winging,  dumb-bell  lifting,  athletic  training;  in  fact,  strain- 
ing of  every  character  and  over-taxation  of  the  human  system.  This  will 
gradually  be  overcome,  says  Swoboda,  as  people  learn  of  the  scientific  nature 
of  Conscious  Evolution  and  Evolutionary  Exercise.  Swoboda's  book  deals 
with  this  subject  in  a  manner  which  at  once  enlightens  and  compels  con- 
viction. 

Mr.  Swoboda  must  not  be  classed  with  ordinary  physiologists,  physicians, 
athletic  instructors  or  with  those  whose  aim  is  merely  the  development  of 
muscle  only.  Neither  his  philosophy  nor  his  science  is  confined  to  such  nar- 
row limits.  Swoboda's  plan  comprehends  the  complete  development  of  the 
human  being, — increase  of  internal  force,  more  body  power,  more  brain 
power,  mind  power,  and,  in  fact,  greater  capacity  in  every  way.  He  is  pri- 
marilv  interested  in  those  influences  which  make  for  a  fuller  and  more  potent 
life.  He  lias  revolutionized  exercise  and  the  methods  of  energizing  the  body 
and  mind- 
One  cannot  remain  long  in  tin-  presence  of  Swoboda  without  realizing  that 
he  in  mentally  and  physically  a  superman.  He  makes  you  feel  that  you  are 
only  partially  well,  and  vigorous  and  ambitious,  only  partially  developed, 
that,  in  Mhort.  you  are  only  naif  as  alive  as  you  must  Ik-  if  you  wish  to  enjoy  to 
the  full  the  benefits  of  living,  that  you  are  leading  an  interior  life.  No  one 
ian  re;ir|  hi-  book  without  becoming  conscious  of  his  wonderful  power  and 
personality. 

Swoboda  in  a  man  who  is  centuries  in  advance  of  his  time. 

His  tliwovery  of  conscious  evolution  is  it-elf  of  epochal  importance.  But 
its  scierilifii  atid  successful  application  is  more  wonderful  still. 

The  fe.,t  .,t  I'rauklln  in  drawing  the  electric  spark  from  the  clouds  was  a 
wonder  of  'he  tune.  Vet  it  took  a  hundred  years  to  master  the  secret  of  that 
elei  trii  sp;it  I  and  harness  the  giant  (one  of  electricity  to  (he  uses  of  mankind. 
Swoboda  not  only  di  covered  the  marvelous  secret  of  Conscious  Evolution, 
but  applies  it  to  individuals  with  results  that  are  incalculable.  Swoboda 
might,  indeed,  be  called  a  specialist  for  the  human  race. 


A  single  electric  spark  is  of  little  importance.  But  intensify  that  spark  and 
multiply  it  a  billion-fold,  and  you  have  the  power,  the  heat  and  the  dazzling 
lights  of  a  great  city.  So  with  our  cells,  says  Swoboda.  Quicken  one,  and  it 
makes  little  difference.  But  energize  and  intensify  them  all,  and  you  have  a 
"live-wire"  human  being,  with  mental  and  physical  potency  plus — the 
Swoboda  kind  of  body  and  mind.    This  is  all  explained  in  his  new  book. 

THE  HUMAN  BODY  IS  A  "WAR  MACHINE." 

The  commander  who  goes  into  battle  with  an  incapable  army  is  handi- 
capped at  the  start.  The  man  who  goes  into  the  battle  of  life  with  his  physio- 
logical forces  far  below  par  is  foredoomed  to  failure.  The  great  bulk  of  us  are 
hardly  drawing  on  our  tremendous  stores  of  energy  and  vitality.  We  are 
letting  our  cells  grow  stale  and  sluggish.  Our  human  machine  should  be  run- 
ning in  perfect  condition  in  order  that  we  may  get  the  most  out  of  it, — before 
we  can  enjoy  its  full  powers  in  complete  and  rounded  fashion.  Stiengthen  the 
vitality  of  these  cells  and  you  not  only  make  the  body  more  alive  but  the 
brain  more  susceptible  to  new  ideas  from  without,  as  well  as  greatly  increase 
its  own  power  to  generate  ideas.  Many  a  man  is  getting  a  great  deal  of 
pleasure  out  of  his  mind  but  nothing  out  of  his  body. 

Swoboda  demonstrates  that  no  matter  how  old  we  may  be  we  can  make 
ourselves  full-powered  dynamos,  with  every  part  and  wheel  and  power-belt 
thoroughly  in  trim,  working  smoothly  and  at  maximum  capacity, — 100  per 
cent,  efficient. 

More  life  is  the  need  and  will  be  the  salvation  of  the  present  generation. 
The  problem  has  always  been  how  to  get  it.  Eagerly  we  try  each  solution 
offered,  swarming  like  the  Athenians  after  every  new  thing.  And  yet  the 
means  lie  right  within  us,  as  Swoboda  in  his  book  demonstrates. 

YOU  DON'T  HAVE  TO  GROW  "OLD." 

That  one  must  needs  become  decrepit  with  increase  of  years,  is  a  delusion, 
says  Swoboda.  What  passes  for  "old  age"  is  simply  the  loss  of  plasticity  in 
the  organism.  This  plasticity  can  be  restored  and  maintained  to  a  remark- 
able extent  in  elderly  people  when  proper  use  is  made  of  the  adaptive  ability 
of  the  human  body. 

Conscious  Evolution  has  already  re-created  and  brought  joy  to  at  least 
two  hundred  thousand  human  beings.  This  immense  army  of  people  is  scat- 
tered all  over  the  world.  It  includes  doctors,  lawyers,  business  men,  literary 
men.  farmers,  mechanics  and  day  laborers,  and  among  the  company  may  be 
found  Congressmen.  Cabinet  members.  Ambassadors,  Governors,  and  various 
other  distinguished  functionaries  in  this  and  foreign  lands. 

This  free  book  explains  the  Swoboda  System  oj  Conscious 
Evolution  <>f  the  human  body  as  it  has  never  been  explained 
before.  It  startles,  educates  and  enlightens.  It  tells  how  the 
cells  came  to  build  the  body  and  how  to  organize  them  beyond 
the  point  where  nature  left  off,  for  each  one  of  us.  It  will 
give  you  a  better  understanding  of  yourself  than  you  could 
obtain  from  a  college  course,  the  information  which  it  imparts 
cannot  be  duplicated  elsewhere  at  any  price.  It  shows  the  un- 
limited possibilities  through  conscious  evolution  of  the  cells; 
it  explains  Swoboda's  discoveries  and  what  they  arc  doing  for 
men  and  women.  It  tells  of  the  Dangers  of  Exercise  and  the 
perils  of  Conscious  Deep  Breathing.  Swoboda's  hook  shows- 
how  any  one  may  possess  unusual  health  and  vitality. 

)'ou  will  cherish  this  book  for  hating  giien  you  the  first  real 
uutli  islanding  of  your  hotly  and  mind  and  for  showing  you  how 
you  may  he  able  to  attain  a  superior  life. 

Thousands  hare  advanced  themselves  in  ctcry  way  through  a 
better  realization  and  conscious  use  of  the  principles  of  evolution, 
which  Swoboda  discovered.  It  will  open  new  avenues  through 
which  yon  may  become  successful,  in  satisfying  your  most 
intense  desires.  It  is  not  a  tlry  treatise  on  physiology,  on  the 
contrary,  it  tells  in  a  highly  interesting  and  simple  manner  just 
what  everyone  needs  to  know,  tihtnd  the  hotly  ami  mi  nil  and  the 
lutes  of  their  evolution.
